It is rare for a property such as this to come to the market. Built circa 1805 by Lord Lucan, the Georgian farmhouse with its sweeping tree lined driveway and long pedestrian pathway is a landmark in the Fahy area. It has been in the current owner s family since 1908.
The property is a home of immense charm and character. Period features have been retained including cut-limestone window sills, a flagstone tiled floor in the entrance hall, ornate ceiling cornices, timber window shutters and the fan light surround of the front door.
Some of the sash windows have been replaced by double glazed units and oil fired central heating has been installed, however, some further modernisation would be required.
The floor area extends to approximately 149.1 sq m/1,605 sq ft. Ground floor accommodation includes entrance hall, drawing room, dining room, kitchen and bathroom. On first floor there is a charming reading room with a feature fan window to the landing area, four bedrooms and WC.
